Which individuals are most likely to vote? What do you guys think we can do to get more people to vote?

Answer 1

Patriotic citizens always vote because they feel responsible in choosing the leaders.

Answer 2

You will find the older people are regular voters they know this is a privilege and everyone should take advantage of it. How to get people out to vote Is people who are running for office start telling the truth about what they can or can't do. And ban all negative TV political ads it turns people off and they don't vote. They begin to think that all politicians are a like and as bad as the ads say they don't seem to understand that a lot of this is not true when the election is over there is no more said about it. I hear people say it makes no difference if they vote or not it won;t change anything One vote can at times make a big difference
